Walker has been in the weight room non-stop and it shows.

Sichterman looks smaller than expected

Jaimies (sp?) --- needs some leg work, and Walker both look like OT

I'm not a farmer or cowboy by any means but the cowboy boots on Chris look freaking badass. IMO Jaimes is our most underrated 2017 OL!

Second to left is Ben Lingenfelter. He is from Cherokee, IA and a preferred walk-on. His family is originally from Plainview, NE and his uncle is Bob Lingenfelter, a former Big 8 all-conference lineman in the 70s. His older brother, Luke, was also a Husker.

His brother (or cousin) played football at UNO and was a good player. Also a super fun dude. Around 2007-2010(ish).

It was his cousin, Harrison Lingenfelter. He was All-American as a senior, if I recall correctly. Another cousin, Newt, was also a walk-on OL at UNL.

Both sides of the family are super fun dudes!

I hung out with Harrison a lot in college. Super dude. I believe his dad played for Nebraska and had a short stint in the NFL.

I was thinking about this during the spring game. Can somebody set my mind at ease, because a lot of our OL just don't look particularly powerful. I have to confess I have no accurate recall of what Stai or Wiegert or any of those dudes looked like through the arms and shoulders, but you'd think you'd look at a guy who is 6'4 and 300 pounds and be like, "Jesus, that's a huge dude." I saw Gates and I was like, "Really? You spend many days a week in one of the world's finest weight rooms?"

I guess it would be more about lower body for OL? Great for this kid for having huge biceps or whatever, but does anyone know what the focus is for the OL as far as S&C goes?

I think it would help to have a regular 5'10" dude in the picture just for reference. Also, you really can't see the arms on any of them besides Walker.

That's why I wonder if it's actually important to being a good OL to have jacked arms. I'm sure these kids can all bench at least about 3X what I can, so I'm hoping there's no correlation between how I think their arms look and how strong they actually are.
